YSK: This is literally the most simple (in the best way) managed switch I have ever used. It perfectly straddles the line between managed and unmanaged and is a tough little thing too. My home wired network is not huge, and as such setting up a full network rack and cabinet would be excessive (and also I don't have space for that). More importantly though, this switch is a tough piece of hardware. Despite attempts to find a better location, the best place in my house for this switch is just inside of my attic. Living in Oklahoma, that means that its exposed to 100F+ summers and 0F- winter temperatures, as well as a fair amount of dust, dirt, and whatever the heck else is blowing through the wind here. Whomever designed this clearly thought that it might be placed somewhere like my attic, and as such it has not shown the least amount of wear, odd behavior, or any other concern for its environment. I feel I would be hard pressed to find another switch that could equally meet that challenge, especially one larger, and would gladly just add another one of these to my network if needed instead of choosing something different. Can't recommend enough. Buy the Netgear managed switch. It is worth it!

I needed VLAN support for a small network project, and I honestly didn’t expect much at this price point—but the Netgear GS108Ev4 surprised me in the best way. Setup was fast and painless using the web GUI, and I had VLANs configured and my network segmented in minutes, even behind a dedicated firewall. It’s been running without a single hiccup since. For the money, this thing punches way above its weight. Definitely worth grabbing if you need simple VLAN support without going full enterprise. ⸻ For My Fellow Techies – What Stood Out • 802.1Q VLAN Support – I was expecting basic functionality, but it handles tagged VLANs without any weird limitations. Perfect for keeping IoT, lab, and production traffic separated. • QoS & Rate Limiting – You can prioritize traffic and apply bandwidth controls per port. Super handy if you’re testing traffic shaping or isolating chatty devices. • Port Mirroring – Didn’t think I’d find this on a budget switch, but here it is. Great for packet captures or IDS testing on a budget. • Link Aggregation (LAG) – Supports basic port trunking, which is great if you want to push a little more bandwidth between core devices. • Silent, Metal Build – No fans, solid feel, and doesn’t add noise to the rack or desk setup. • Web GUI Management – Nothing fancy, but clean and functional. You won’t need a PhD in networking to figure it out. Honestly, for small labs, home setups, or anyone doing light segmentation, this thing just works. It’s not going to replace an enterprise-grade switch, but for what it is, it’s impressiv

Kept us going when we needed it fast. The in-store help was great.

This network switch works exactly as expected. Plug-and-play setup with no configuration needed, and all ports deliver stable and consistent speeds. Build quality feels solid, and it runs quietly without overheating even during continuous use. I’m using it for home/office networking and it has been very reliable so far. Great performance for the price.

Works well. Gives you multiple ports. Speeds are great.

I’m very happy with the NETGEAR Plus Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch. It was easy to set up, works reliably, and provides fast, stable connections for all my devices. The 8 ports give me plenty of room to connect my network storage, security cameras, smart TV, and other equipment. The compact design is also a nice bonus. Overall, excellent build quality and performance for the price. Highly recommended!

Works fantastic and has really made connecting all of our systems smoother

Built a house and hard wired for the computers and Tv's. This is exactly what we needed. Easy to add to and fits nicely with router/modem.

Worked perfectly in to run central ethernet cables for my home. Easy to mount.

Easy to setup and worked as advertised. Recommended when needing to extend network.

I liked how easy it was to setup and configure. No need to configure if you don't need to, but if you do, there are lots of options.

I needed to upgrade my switch so that my internet connected to fiber optic cable to my house would run at gig speed. My provider is Metronet (TMobile). Actually, I am seeing a speed of something like 987 megs a second, but that may not be the fault of the switch.

Excellent product, and easy use, and good price for this.

Easy setup and works great as with every Netgear device I have bought

Excellent choice. Use it for my home network and have never had any issues with it.

Helped me figure out which of my cables were bad and keep an eye on my network performance.

I rely on Netgear at home and work. Reliable and easy to use.

My house was prewired for TV’s, but my system lacked capacity to accommodate. It was an easy fix with the addition of this expansion product. Two minute install…works great..excellent value

Basic network switch, totally plug and play, provides network expansion. Probably capable of a lot more than I'm asking of it.

Easy to use, plug and play. Nice sturdy box too. Would recommend.
